Project structure
The Twin hub network kick off meeting in December 2011 marked the beginning of the project activities. The project runs until 2015.
The work is clustered into 4 work packages.
1) Identification of promising Twin hub networks
2) European pilot Twin hub service network
3) Towards programming and planning required infrastructure
4) Societal benefits
The Twin hub network kick off meeting in December 2011 marked the beginning of the project activities. The project runs until 2015.
The work is clustered into 4 work packages.
1) Identification of promising Twin hub networks
Work package 1 identifies promising Twin hub service networks and analyses their performance and competitiveness and the modal shift due to improved performances.
2) European pilot Twin hub service network
In work package 2 the intermodal operators choose one of the promising networks for a pilot operation to be carried out. The pilot and WP 2 are the centre of the project.
3) Towards programming and planning required infrastructure
Work package 3 gives an outline of what the infrastructure ideally needs for Twin hub operations to take place on a larger scale. In this WP the project tries to interest key decision-makers in the field of infrastructure, spatial and port planning in Rotterdam and Antwerp for such development.
4) Societal benefits
Work package 4 analyses societal benefits related to the performance improvements.
